 CUSTOMIZING ASCII FILE TRANSFERS

 The sixth option of the Configuration Menu allows you to cus-
 tomize Telix ASCII file transfers to your needs, so that Telix
 may work with almost any system. The options are:

     A: Strip high bit during transfers (on/off). If this pa-
        rameter is on, the high (most significant) bit of each
        character sent for uploads, or received for downloads,
        is stripped. This can be used to ignore parity. On the
        other hand, the upper 128 characters in the IBM ex-
        tended ASCII character set are then converted to the
        lower value.

     B: Remote abort character. This is the character which
        when received during an ASCII upload or download, is
        taken to mean that the remote end is wants to abort the
        transfer. One possible value might be 24 (Ctrl-X).

     C: Local echo. If this is on, Telix will echo characters
        locally while uploading. This should normally be off.

     D: Expand blank lines. If this is on, when Telix is send-
        ing a file and it encounters a blank line, it will add
        a space to that line. This is very useful for systems
        that assume a blank line means "end of file", or for
        uploading a message on most bulletin boards.

     E: Pace character. This is the ASCII value of the char-
        acter that Telix should wait for before sending each
        line. If this value is 0, Telix will not wait for any
        character.

     F: Line Pacing. This is the amount of time (in 1/10 sec-
        onds), that Telix should wait before sending each line.
        This delay is often not necessary, but for some bbs's
        for example, it's vital.

     G: Character pacing. This is the time delay (in millisec-
        onds) that Telix should wait between each character. As
        the PC's hardware clock does not have enough resolu-
        tion, this is a software loop based delay. Therefore, a
        value of 1 here will delay a 4.77 MHz XT approximately
        1 millisecond, and faster PCs for a proportionally
        smaller time period.

     H: Upload CR translation. This is what Telix should do
        with Carriage Return chars when uploading ASCII files.
        The three options are to do nothing, to strip them, or
        to add a Line Feed character afterwards.

     I: Upload LF translation. This is what Telix should do
        with Line Feed characters when uploading ASCII files.
        The three options are to do nothing, to strip them, or
        to add a Carriage Return before each.

     J: Download CR translation. This is exactly the same as
        setting E (above), but applies when downloading ASCII
        files.

     K: Download LF translation. This is exactly the same as
        setting F (above), but applies when downloading ASCII
        files.
